I’m a philosopher of technology and design.

After twenty years working in tech, I now research the gaps between what technology does and what it should do. I’m particularly interested in how design and technology steer human behaviour, and the moral and social consequences that result. I also think about – and sometimes write about – the morality of the future and the ethics of sport.

Previously I’ve been a lecturer on technology ethics at Elon University (as a Fulbright Scholar) and Manchester Met. I’ve also guest lectured worldwide, including at Stanford University, the Royal College of Art, and the University of Cambridge.

I hold Masters degrees in both ethics and IT and will shortly begin a PhD examining how we should morally evaluate deception in automated design.
